Yankees trade prediction lands $400M Cy Young Winner, forming trio with Gerrit Cole, Max Fried
The offseason hasn’t even started yet, but one of the biggest commodities is Tarik Skubal. Skubal is one of the best arms in the game, and the Detroit Tigers seem unconcerned that he is on track to become one of the highest-paid starters in baseball. In fact, they might not make a serious effort at all.
“Two things I believe to be true. 1. Scott Boras and Tarik Skubal want to hit free agency a year from now. No extension this offseason. 2. The Tigers are not going all in to win with Skubal in 2026,” 97.1 The Ticket’s Jim Costa posted.
Right now, the Tigers are putting in very minimal effort, which could cause them to see even more division with Skubal. The money gap on a new contract is staggering.
“The Tigers and superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal have a lot of work to do if they’re going to bridge quite possibly the biggest gap in MLB negotiating history: an estimated quarter of a billion dollars. Yep, that’s not a misprint. It’s close to $250 million,” New York Post’s Jon Heyman wrote.
If Skubal and the Tigers can’t reach an agreement, it could lead to a potential trade. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden has identified the New York Yankees as a possible landing spot.
“Skubal will reset the market for pitchers and become the highest-paid starting pitcher in history, with a realistic starting price north of $400 million. Therefore, even though the Tigers are in position to compete for the postseason next year, it’s likely they shop Skubal at the Winter Meetings and try to make the best trade they can,” Bowden wrote.
If Skubal goes to the Yankees, it would undoubtedly make them the favorites in the AL. Their starting rotation would become an absolute powerhouse, featuring two of the best southpaws in the game.
This is the move the Yankees need to make. There is speculation about them going all out for a World Series roster, and this fits the bill perfectly.
Jalin Hyatt Could Be Patrick Mahomes' New Secret Weapon in Kansas City
As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 4, 2025, the New York Giants are evaluating their roster, and wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has emerged as a potential trade candidate. Despite his impressive speed and skill set, Hyatt has struggled to find consistent playing time with the Giants. His untapped potential could make him the ideal trade deadline steal for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his high-powered offense.
Hyatt, a former Biletnikoff Award winner, has long been known for his game-breaking speed, clocking a 4.40-second 40-yard dash and reaching 24.29 mph during his combine performance. However, the Giants' system has not allowed him to consistently showcase his talents.
This lack of opportunity with the Giants has led to speculation about a potential trade that could benefit both teams. The Chiefs, with Mahomes at the helm, are known for maximizing the talents of speedy receivers, and Hyatt could offer them a dynamic deep threat.
For the Giants, trading Hyatt could open up resources to bring in a receiver better suited to their evolving offense under rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Additionally, the move could provide valuable draft capital, which could be used to further strengthen the roster.
With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Giants' decision regarding Hyatt could prove to be a game-changer. A potential trade to the Chiefs could provide Mahomes with another explosive weapon while offering Hyatt the opportunity to reignite his career in an offense that could maximize his skills.
